Description

The Lakers stole Game 1 in Memphis, beating a Grizzlies team that lost six times at home all year. They go into tonight's Game 2 not only with confidence, but also the knowledge that Memphis star Ja Morant might not play, or could be limited at the least, thanks to a hand injury. If the Lakers can take Game 2, they put a stranglehold on the series as it moves back to LA for Game 3 this weekend.So can they do it? Do Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura have another great game in them? Is it going to be a LeBron James-driven event? Can Anthony Davis repeat his defensive performance of Game 1, and lead the team on the other end, as well?These are just some of the questions we dive into with the great Howard Beck, who is joining the network through the playoffs to provide analysis, and has been a longtime friend of our show.We get into surprises from Game 1, what is sustainable and not, and how all of this has changed the perception around the league of Austin Reaves. Fair to say, he's gone from a curiosity earlier in the year (among professional scouts/player personnel types) to someone who will command real dollars this offseason. How will that play out?And what about Anthony Davis? What keeps him from being seen as a clear cut member of the league's elite? Is it just the availability thing, or is it something more? What about the potential turnaround for the Lakers, if they keep going well in this series and make it through into the next round? Where would this rank in the annals of in-season turnarounds?HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with Guest Howard Beck!SEGMENT 1: What surprised in Game 1? How much of it was sustainable for the Lakers? Plus, what do people around the league think of Reaves?SEGMENT 2: Looking at Reaves's upcoming free agency, and keys to Game 2. What can Memphis do if Ja doesn't play?SEGMENT 3: AD's perception around the league, and what it would mean if the Lakers really do complete the turnaround with a deep run.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
